A Baby Boomer’s Guide to River Cruising in the US

This post has been sponsored by American Cruise Lines. All opinions are strictly my own.

There is nothing quite like a river cruise

I’ve spent time on a few in my day, and there are so many things that I love about the simple sophistication that a small ship leisurely floating down the river passing scenic vistas as you make lasting friendships with the other passengers’ offers. 

What I know

  1. I know that river cruising is more relaxing for me than ocean cruises because you can set your own pace.
  2. I know that I have made some lifelong friends on river cruises because they offer a more intimate experience onboard.
  3. I know that river cruises feel like a more luxurious vacation as there are no “inside cabins” – they are all balconies. You are there to take in the beauty of the scenery.
  4. I know that I will get a more in-depth experience of the destinations since you get a full day in a city to explore, dine, and do what you love (in my case, shop).


I have a river cruise bucket list

While I have drifted down rivers in Europe, visiting small towns and villages, I have not yet ventured to the Mississippi nor traversed the waters from Baltimore to Jacksonville, and most of all, I haven’t seen my beloved New England from the bow of a ship while sipping my morning coffee before digging in to a lobster roll in Bar Harbor or shopping for artwork featuring a lone fisherman in Gloucester.


American Cruise Lines is my choice to travel

River cruising with American Cruise Lines means:

  • Relaxing in the largest and most spacious staterooms in the small cruise ship industry (accommodating up to 3 people per cabin).
  • Being able to choose my ship experience from riverboats to paddlewheelers or a coastal cruise ship.
  • A dedicated All-American staff who know the areas and are happy to make sure that you have the experience you’ve been dreaming of.
  • Knowing that I am traveling on the most eco-friendly small ships in the U.S.A.
  • Having the opportunity to travel with onboard experts in nature and each area.
  • Visiting ports of call with unique onshore excursions and amazing views while on the ship.
  • Dining on outstanding cuisine and enjoying wonderful performers on the ship.

I think that 2020 will be my American Cruise Line year
